...an interesting podcast, from your old pal Wil Wheaton.

It's a relatively quick show this week, but it sure was amusing to me while I made it.

Show Notes:

The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!

Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast does, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.

This week's theme music is Steppin' Out
by Joe Jackson. It was originally released on his record Night And Day. Most of his catalog is really great, but Look Sharp!
is probably his best. It's one of my desert island discs, for those of you keeping score at home.

On today's show, I told two stupid jokes, and read something I cut out of an early draft of my PAX East keynote.

I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it directly here, it's a giant hassle to get it. I am aware of this problem, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass for me to correct it, given the tools I have available to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'm very annoyed by it, but I can make a podcast, or I can be a bug-squashing code monkey. I can't do both, and I quite frankly prefer making the podcast. Listener Dave K. built a workaround that you can learn all about here. Thanks, Dave!

Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done. Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.

It's one of those shows where I talked for an hour, and feel like I didn't say anything at all.

On today's show, I talked about the responses and thoughts I had when I told Twitter, "All I want to do today is listen to REM and paint 40K figures. It would be like sitting in my dressing room in 1988, minus the muscle suit."

Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done (please see the above note.) Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.
